Question

Show that the ratio of velocities of equal
masses in an inelastic collision when one
of the masses is stationary is
V1/
V2
=
1-e/1+e
​

Answer 1

Answer:

In a perfectly inelastic collision, two objects collide and stick together. The momentum of the objects before the collision is conserved, but the total energy is not conserved. The final velocity of the combined objects depends on the masses and velocities of the two objects that collided.
